Y/N versus Crocodile:

At the Royal Palace in the capital city of Alubarna Chaka the Acting Captain of the Royal Guard stood on a balcony overlooking the soldiers of the Royal Army.
"The Rebel Army is fast approaching us men!" Chaka announced his position as Captain of the Royal Guard now made him the leader of the Royal Army and with King Nefertari Cobra nowhere to be found he was the only one around to make a decision concerning the attacking rebels. "WE MUST PROTECT ALABASTA WITH OUR OWN HANDS! DO NOT FEAR DEATH! FIGHT THEM WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT! WE MUST STOP THE REBELS! TAKE UP INTERCEPT POSITIONS!"
"YES SIR!" the Royal Army chorused. They were ready to protect their homeland from being overthrown even if it cost them their lives.

"ALUBARNA'S GOING DOWN!" one of the rebels shouted as the Rebel Army charged its way from the destroyed Nanohana to Alubarna on camel and horseback.
"YEAAHH!" the massive crowd of rebels cheered. It was time to take back their homeland from their corrupt King. If the man was willing to destroy an entire city to keep his own name clean they weren't going to take any chances concerning what he'd do next.
One of the rebels rode up alongside Koza who was leading the Rebel Army on his black stallion. "Are you alright, Koza?" the rebel asked with concern. "How's your wound?"
It was only a short time ago that the leader of the rebels had been shot by one of the King's guards. His wound was now heavily bandaged but he was still leading the charging army.
"It's nothing!" Koza insisted. "I'm fine! Besides, if we keep riding at this pace we'll reach Albubarna by daybreak. We can't stop for anything just keep riding!"
"Yes sir," the rebel agreed.
"WE ATTACK AT DAWN!" Koza shouted.

"Um... Han?" Chopper spoke up as he stood in his Brain Point form at the edge of the lake that Rain Dinners was situated in the middle of. "There's one part of Y/N's plan that I don't get..."
"And what's that?" Han inquired as he tied a thick length of rope around Chopper's small body.
"What did he mean when he said that I was going to be 'bait'?" Chopper questioned. "And why did he sound so sorry about it? Is 'bait' a hero?"
"Not quite..." Han told him as he picked up a fishing rod and used it to hoist Chopper up into the air before he cast the reindeer out over the lake. WOING!
"WAIT!" Chopper shrieked as he dangled over the water that was filled with huge bananawani, "I DON'T WANNA BE BAIT ANYMORE!"
"Don't worry little monster just hang there and look tasty," Han instructed. "We're hunting big game today."
"I DON'T WANNA BE EATEN!" Chopper screamed.
"I told you not to worry," Han reminded him, "I've done this a million times before. I won't let them actually eat you. We're just gonna make them think they can. Now... look tasty. Let's try and catch something big."
GULP! "Heeree baanaanaaa-naanaaa-waaniii..." Chopper sang in a low tone as he stared down at the huge dark figures swimming around in the water under him.

Back in the V.I.P. Room at the Rain Dinners Casino, Y/N and Ollie stood at the top of the steps overlooking Crocodile, Ms. All Sunday, and the traitor Mr. 5. Vivi was on the ground struggling to free her bound wrists while Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Ace, and Smoker were all still tripped in Crocodile's cell which had bars that were lined with Sea Stone and neutralized the Devil Fruit Powers of Luffy, Ace, and Smoker.
